ALBION – Icicles, many 10 feet or longer, are hanging from the roofs around Orleans County. It has been a bitter stretch of cold, and it will get colder in the next few days with Sunday forecast for a high of -3 degrees.

This Canal Corp. building has an enormous collection of icicles.
Water trickles down from roofs and freezes in mid-drip, resulting in icicles, such as these at the Canal Corp.
There is a long stretch of icicles on the south side of First Presbyterian Church in Albion.

There are even icicles on my mini-van.
